Jens Axboe e788be95a5 task_work: allow TWA_SIGNAL without a rescheduling IPI
Some use cases don't always need an IPI when sending a TWA_SIGNAL
notification. Add TWA_SIGNAL_NO_IPI, which is just like TWA_SIGNAL, except
it doesn't send an IPI to the target task. It merely sets
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and wakes up the task.

This can be useful in avoiding a forceful transition to the kernel if the
task is running in userspace. Depending on the task_work in question, it
may be quite fine waiting for the next reschedule or kernel enter anyway,
or the use case may even have other mechanisms for hinting to the task
that a transition may be useful. This can drive more cooperative
scheduling of task_work.

* @TWA_SIGNAL works like signals, in that the it will interrupt the targeted

* running in the kernel or userspace.
* @TWA_SIGNAL_NO_IPI works like @TWA_SIGNAL, except it doesn't send a
* reschedule IPI to force the targeted task to reschedule and run task_work.
* This can be advantageous if there's no strict requirement that the
* task_work be run as soon as possible, just whenever the task enters the
* kernel anyway.
* @TWA_RESUME work is run only when the task exits the kernel and returns to
* user mode, or before entering guest mode.
*
* Fails if the @task is exiting/exited and thus it can't process this @work.
* Otherwise @work->func() will be called when the @task goes through one of
* the aforementioned transitions, or exits.
*
* If the targeted task is exiting, then an error is returned and the work item
* is not queued. It's up to the caller to arrange for an alternative mechanism
* in that case.
*
* Note: there is no ordering guarantee on works queued here. The task_work
* list is LIFO.
